Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1660-1662 Newcomb Ave in Bayview, owned by Matteo L. Tacchini, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various building maintenance challenges since its construction in 1933. Most recently, in November 2023, substantial bathroom improvements were completed, including new fixtures, tiles, and plumbing, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the property. However, the building has a notable history of unresolved maintenance issues dating back to March 2004, when multiple violations were recorded concerning building safety and habitability, including problems with stairs, handrails, floor coverings, ceilings, plumbing, electrical systems, window glazing, smoke detectors, and the presence of accumulated rubbish. While some of these violations were addressed through various permits and repairs over the years, a pattern of maintenance challenges emerges, including past issues with heating (2008), exterior paint management (2011), and more recent complaints about peeling paint (2023).

The property has been subject to numerous 311 calls and housing inspection complaints, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, including instances of human waste or urine. There was also one recorded instance of a gas leak requiring attention, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's recent renovation activities, including bathroom upgrades and HVAC improvements (2008), suggest active maintenance efforts by the current owner, though the persistence of certain violations and recent complaints indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The most recent building improvement permits from November 2023 indicate continuing investment in property maintenance, particularly focusing on bathroom modernization and associated infrastructure updates.

Risk rating

How 1660-1662 Newcomb Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
